I have to sweat some copper pipes but the old valves won't turn off completely. Do I have to pay 8 bucks for 6 of those little egg thingies,
Is there a handy find around the house substitute? I've heard that bread balls will work, is that true?
Thanks
Lenny
Haven't tried it, seems like it would if you can be quick...
Why not shut off the house and repair the other cutoffs at the same time?
Bread is the standard. I have only needed it a couple of times, but it worked.
Bread balls are the answer. I have used them many times.

Appreciate the responses.
